Ingredients
500g Italian sausage (mild or spicy), casings removed

1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup heavy cream

Instructions
1. In a large Dutch oven, brown the sausage over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spoon.
2. Remove sausage, drain excess fat, and set aside.
